Foolish goats. I hate when a people doggedly refuse to have sense.

Are they so illiterate they cant read what is being published about the NDDC? Shouldn't that be their primary concern right now?

Reading those expenditure, I felt like throwing up.

NDDC could arguably be the most corruption ridden government establishment. What a shame!

The Truth Is That Those Guys Out There Believes That, If Power Is Given To An Igbo Man, He Will Activate The Divid And Rule Game. Igbos Are Not Trusted In One Nigeria Mantra,

The Mistakes Of The Colonal 'Masters' Is What We Are Faceing Today In One Nigeria,
But If The Power Can Go Rown, It Will Allso Remain As One.

Please desist from capitalizing each word. Makes whatever you write somewhat illegible.

Honestly couldn't read what you wrote just because of that.

So The Point Is That P D P Is The Problame Of Igbo Not To Be President?

You can't even blame the pdp. Blame Igbos. The fate of Igbos is determined by Igbos and not any political party.

You and all the people surrounding you are mad.

I Dey wait for who go criticize Nigeria as the biggest scamming nation, we still Dey learn, now because our government Dey join give us bad image

But you have no idea those behind that. What if they're Nigerians? Or you think this is too sophisticated to come from us?

Toh. It's your prerogative. Can't force you not to.

Cheers.

It's only chronic zombies like u actually believed that buhari have what it takes to fight corruption in nigeria.

Cc. Mynd44.

Don't have time for nonsense anymore.

Of course I'd feel hurt. I don't celebrate criminals who get away with their act.

And you shouldn't.

Atlanticfire:
It is good to live long to see people like you who refused to listen previously come to their senses.

It is quite unfortunate that you have still not realised your mistake in supporting Buhari to come to power.

When you realise that you were sold a dummy, fooled by the sw controlled media into believing that Buhari had something to offer to the nation then and only then will you not be disappointed in Buhari.

Buhari has been very honest in his words and actions. He told you that he will split the populace into 5% and 97% and he did that faithfully in his appointments and projects. He told you that a fight against boko haram is a fight against the north, he has since declared boko haram technically defeated and left them to do what they like.

He belong to the group that says Nigeria is their estate and you wonder why he should be bothered about stealing from Nigeria.

Guy wake up. Do not misplace your patriotism next time. Lots of you that supported Buhari were very patriotic unfortunately you were too naive to understand Nigerian politics, religion, nepotism and tribalism and your patriotism was used in fooling you into supporting the wrong candidate.

Let me guess, rooting for or supporting Jonathan or PDP would have been the way forward?

God forbid.

I'm not a fool not to know my right from my left. That Buhari has turned out this way doesn't negate the fact Jonathan wasn't an option, and if you think criticizing Buhari makes me sympathetic to pdp or any of their candidates, then you're sorely mistaken.

PDP still remains a useless entity to me. Make no mistakes about that.

Shame, shame, shame!!

Buhari, wake up!!!!

The owners of this factory, and others that have been shown here, could easily acquire the best luxury life can offer. Sadly, some folks are hardwired to believe that whatever wealth being displayed by northerners was courtesy *oil money* from Niger Delta.

God bless Nigeria and rid us of the wanton plundering of our common patrimony by those virmins posing as leaders.

fiizznation:
I will keep saying this; the only advantage Lagos have over kano is the sea-port. Well I believe with time and by electing the right leaders at every level of government in the state, kano state will surely overthrow Lagos as the real commercial hub of Nigeria.

God bless kano state.

And while Kano state is doing so, Lagos would remain where they currently are abi?

Bros, fear Allah o.

At this point, all we could do is endure until 2023. The rot is mind blowing.

Shameful!!

shigoawesu:
So Buhari will have to go from one ward to another, one town to another and from one state to another
We as people are really not ready

I don't expect him to. But look at it this way, as the head goes, so does the body. That is why you can't see a mad man in clean suit.

Buhari is the leader of the country and holds the torch with which we are meant to cut through the dark tunnels leading up to uhuru, but it appears he has failed to light up his torch!

If he, for instance, takes decisive actions against his appointees, the state governments would have no choice but to fall in line because the public pressure on them would be unbearable. In addition, if he severely cuts back on the material trappings of his office, say, the length of his motorcade, state governors would have no choice but to do the same, freeing up scarce resources which can be channelled into much more productive ventures. He hasn't done that.

I could lie to others, but I can't lie to myself. Baba hasn't lived anywhere close to my expectation as per anticorruption war.

You guys better do so, and fast! You're fast losing some of your staunchest supporters over the gamut of slease and malfeasance reported in the newspapers daily.

Things are getting out of hands.

Tesppidd, see what I'm saying. Even they themselves seem to have now come to the realization things arent going as expected.

SenecaTheYonger:
But we are not the US and we do not need to have that kind of budget for our military. We are also not as many as USA. So I believe 200 billion is a lot of money for a third world country if properly utilized.

Of course I know that. Didnt you read the second paragraph?

tesppidd:
Take it from me;

In our current Democratic structure and dispensation, it is practically impossible for any Nigerian President to go against their appointees and croonies.

Lol..

Imagine Buhari using the EFCC to go against Tinubu, Amaechi, El Rufai, Malami, Magu, Akpabio, Sylva, Wike, and hundreds of others.

And perhaps half of the Senate.. .

And half of the judiciary.....

(We all know how much corrupt elements we have in these places)

Now tell me sincerely; Will Buhari survive another 6 months on seat?
(It's a goddammn democracy not an autocracy)

What you guys ask of Buhari is practically IMPOSSIBLE.

90 percent of the politicians will electoral value have been involved in one act of corruption or another.
The few Nigerians who could be "clean" have got little or no electoral value and they cannot win an election for Me President.


Bro this is the sad fact in our country.

If Buhari has to go against his appointees and croonies he'd have to go against 90 percent of them.
And they shall fight back! He will not be President.

The only way that Buhari or any President can fight this fight the way you guys want is by becoming a military head of state all over again.

No President can emerge in the Nigeria of today without 70 percent of these corrupt elements on your side.

Take it from me, if I were in Buhari's shoes, I could do it! What is he afraid of? Death, at his age?

Come on, the case of Nigeria isn't entirely unique as you would like to believe. Our style of democracy is modeled after those of Western countries. Their presidents have friends, families, appointees, loyalists, etc, yet they don't have people recklessly plundering their national purse. Why must our case be different??

Buhari has only three years left under his belt, would you, in all honesty, say he has done well as per war on corruption if things continue along this trajectory?

I doubt anyone out there liked the man as much as I did (perhaps still do), but at some point, one's gotta tell themselves the truth.

As it stands, Baba has been disappointing me.

tesppidd:
I just knew that somehow you would tie this to Buhari.
But don't get me wrong, Buhari has got the responsibility to check the NNDC.

But is this probe not part of the checks and balances of the Buhari administration?

Or are you now going to divorce the Senate from Buhari?

The anti corruption war is not for Buhari alone.
It will take more than a man to fight corruption in Nigeria.
Buhari alone cannot fight the corruption in one state out of 36. Talkless of the entire country.

The anti corruption war is for the Senate, the Reps, the Judiciary, the presidency, you and me.


I had expected you to begin your rant from point A where you should begin but you jumped to point D.

Point A is the NDDC mangement and the Niger Delta leaders. Since we are talking abiut the NDDC specifically here.

The people of the Niger Delta have had all the wealth in the country but with very little developments.
And so the NDDC is created.

The leaders of the Niger delta which make up less than 1 percent of the population embezzle 90 percent of the funds.

A drive into Port Harcourt city and the GRA areas where these NDDC big shots live would prove it to you.
What you find are mansions, expensive cars, big generators, and all manner of affluence.

And when the Niger Delta people want to complain, first thing they say is Buhari Buhari.

I believe a fresh orientation is required. The primary injustice they face lives right with them.

Their own leaders are the major ones causing their poverty.
They say charity begins at home.

The Niger Delta must hold the NDDC and their Niger Delta leaders accountable first before holding the FG.
This cannot be allowed to continue. This is nothing but betrayal amongst siblings.

You don't get it bro. If Buhari had, from the word go, put his feet on the ground, dealing decisively with errant appointees, going forward, others would have been discouraged from putting their filthy hands in the cookie jar. He failed to do that!

That flop somehow emboldened would-be crooks to do what they've been and are found doing.

Anticorruption fight shouldn't be only be about taking actions after the deeds have been done (even on this, very minuscule progress has been made), is should ESPECIALLY be about PREVENTING those acts of corruption.

It is just like the bible admonished: spare the rod and spoil the child. Buhari spared the rod, and the child unavoidably became spoilt.

This is just the truth.

You end social status for them, making them lose the sort of unique protection they enjoy from the US against China to punish China?

Would China be the ones to bear the brunt of such actions or the people of Hong Kong themselves?

Maxymilliano:
The present administration is now chop i chop. And more likely to go down as the most corrupt in the history of the country.

The Dasuki gate will be a child's play by the time the root of the matter is unearthed..

It is just pathetic. We seem to have gotten back to square one! All the rodents are out in the street with no cat to tame their nuisance.

I'm deeply appalled by the torrent of corruption related news coming out daily. The sleaze is unprecedented!

They system is rotten not just to the core, but to the atomic level!!

Buhari, you have lost the anticorruption war, the premise upon which some of us became staunch supporters of you!

All you needed to do from day one was show a few examples, making every subject under you understand there'd be no sacred cows. In the beginning, everyone was terrified to touch what wasnt theirs, but to their greatest surprise, you let them nibble without reacting. Seeing your aloofness as they nibbled, they turned their nibble to a mouthful bite, leading us where we are today.

To say I am disappointed is an understatement!

Igbochief001:
Well Nigeria government only get 55% of that money

How do you mean? Care to expatiate?

This country is dirt poor! This is less than 20% US annual defence budget.

Notwithstanding, if only we have sincere leaders, from the top to bottom, and they make judicious use of our earnings, we would be a world apart from where we currently are in terms of socioeconomic development.

Coupled with the fact Baba's anticorruption crusade has been bastardized.

Pathetic!

Pdp firing from all cylinders, desperate to soil the gentleman's image ahead of 2023.

Kolowerk!
